Bella´s version of THE INVITATION

INVITATION TO SELF

IT DOESN´T INTEREST ME WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING

I WANT TO SEE WHO YOU ARE LIVING
AND IF YOU DARE TO MEET YOUR HEART´S PRESENCE
AND LIVE THE WORDS YOU SPEAK REGARDLESS WHERE YOU ARE AND WITH WHOM
 
IT DOESN´T INTEREST ME HOW OLD YOU ARE
I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU WILL RISK EVERYTHING
IF YOU WILL RISK LOOKING LIKE A FOOL
FOR BEING ALIVE, FOR LIVING YOU
 
IT DOESN´T INTEREST ME WHAT PLANETS ARE SQUARING YOUR MOON
I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE TOUCHED THE CORE OF YOUR OWN SORROW
IF YOU HAVE BEEN OPENED BY LIFE´S BETRAYALS OR HAVE BECOME SHRIVELED AND CLOSED FROM FEAR OF LOSS AND PAIN
 
I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU CAN BE WITH LIFE´S PAIN
MINE OR YOUR OWN
WITHOUT MOVING TO HIDE IT OR FIX IT
 
I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU CAN BE WITH JOY
MINE OR YOUR OWN
WITHOUT MOVING TO FEED ON IT OR POSSESS IT
 
IF YOU CAN DANCE AS THE WILDNESS THAT YOU ARE
AND LET THE ECSTASY FILL YOU TO THE TIPS OF YOUR FINGERS AND TOES WITHOUT BEING CAREFUL OR THOUGHTFUL, WITHOUT ACCEPTING THE LIMITATIONS OF BEING HUMAN
 
IT DOESN´T INTEREST ME WHAT KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE
I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU CAN BE FREE OF CONCEPTIONS SUCH AS FAILURE AND SUCCESS
IF YOU CAN SEE THINGS FOR WHAT THEY ARE, AND DARE CALL THINGS BY THEIR NAME
 
IT DOESN´T INTEREST ME TO HEAR STORIES OF THE PAST
I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU CAN SIMPLY BE HERE, FRESH, UNDEFINED, AS THE BREATH YOU BREATHE IN AND OUT WITH EVERY NEW MOMENT
 
I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU CAN DISAPPOINT ANOTHER TO BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
IF YOU CAN BEAR THE ACCUSATION OF BETRAYAL AND NOT BETRAY WHO YOU REALLY ARE AS LIFE
 
I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU CAN BE WITH NO FAITH BUT YOUR OWN SELF-TRUST, AND IF YOU SOURCE YOUR LIFE FROM YOUR OWN LIFE FORCE
 
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT SUSTAINS YOU FROM THE INSIDE WHEN ALL ELSE FALLS AWAY
IF YOU CAN BE ALLONE WITH YOURSELF AND IF YOU TRULY LIKE THE COMPANY YOU KEEP IN THE EMPTY MOMENT
